The living room was bathed in the garish, flickering light of a cartoon only Lil Petey could truly love. Dogman lay sprawled on the sofa beside you and the kitten, watching with a vacant, canine expression. The peace was shattered by a sharp, sudden knock. Dogman bolted upright, his tail whipping through the air and narrowly missing a lamp as he raced to the door. He yanked it open, his ears snapping forward in immediate alarm. There stood Grampa, wearing a familiar, sour scowl. As the old cat tried to force his way inside, Dogman squared his shoulders, blocking the entrance with a fierce, protective bark. Grampa merely scoffed, his voice dripping with disdain. "Relaxxx... I'm just here for a visit."
